Foamy urine

Yeah, not the most pleasant topic, but... I have foamy urine. Been like that for several months now.

Naturopath/MD did a "dipstick" and said that proteins might be getting through the kidneys. Sent me for blood and urine tests, but they're now on holidays for a couple weeks, so I thought I'd ask out here if anyone has experieinced "foamy urine" and if they found out the cause. Does it mean my kidneys are screwed or is this a common CFS symptom?

It can be proteins, or it can be an infection, either in the glomeruli in the kidneys, or lower down in the urinary tract.
These can be the same thing, as infection can cause the kideny to let protein through without breaking it down properly.
This isn't a common CFS symptom.
Kidney problems can turn serious so I would make a big fuss about getting it diagnosed and treated, if you have the energy to do so.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

I've had it my entire life. I thought it was normal until recently. I supposed I should get some tests as well.

Ive heard of people (not CFS people) getting this symptom and doctors not being at all worried about it after checking them out, so do get it checked out, something obviously has changed but dont stress over it.
